Navajo Sterling Silver Post Earrings by E. Belone is handmade jewelry created by Eugene Belone, a skilled Navajo silversmith from Gallup, New Mexico. He specializes in stone setting, inlay, and detailed stamp work, often incorporating semi-precious stones like turquoise, coral, lapis lazuli, or charoite into sterling silver designs. His pieces are typically hallmarked "E. Belone," "EB," or similar, with "Sterling."

These post earrings (stud style with post backs) are authentic Native American pieces, blending traditional Navajo craftsmanship with contemporary elements. They often feature single or oval cabochon stones set in decorated silver bezels, sometimes with appliqué or stamped patterns.
